Career

Bergqvist played youth football with Reading and Queens Park Rangers, before joining Aldershot Town in 2009.[2] Bergqvist eventually became youth team captain at Aldershot,[3] and spent loan spells at both Thatcham Town and Dorchester Town,[4] before making his senior debut for Aldershot in May 2011.[5] He joined Farnborough on loan in August 2011,[6] and Basingstoke Town in October 2012.[7]

Bergqvist signed for Exeter City in June 2013,[8] before moving on loan to Welling United a few days later, for the whole of the 2013–14 season.[9][10]

On 10 February 2014, Bergqvist left England to return to Sweden, signing a two-year contract with Östersund on a free transfer.[11] He did so as part of a scheme called 'League Football Education' which aims to obtain contracts abroad for players in the English league system, alongside Andrew Mills and Jamie Hopcutt.[12]
